Sprint fires nearly 500 staff from Kansas City headquarters

October 22, 2014

In a bod to maintain efficiency and save costs, Sprint, one of America’s largest GSM carriers, have sacked 452 workers from it’s headquarters in Kansas City.

The company has now laid off 929 employees in Kansas this year alone. Last year, the carrier closed with 38,000 people in it’s workforce but now, only 33,000 workers still have their names on the books.

It’s not even over

“We anticipate additional reduction activity in the next few weeks and will provide an updated list of impacted positions…,” read a notice Sprint memoed with the Kansas Department of Commerce, meaning more workers could go.

Marcelo Claure, who was appointed Sprint CEO only in August this year, said his company wants to check on every dollar spent, and claims the job reforms were scheduled to take place even before his appointment.
